"We'll be back later tonight. Right now we got to check up on the women and children..." Fernando says to the bartender.

"Don't come back too late. You might miss out on the fun." The bartender says.

Fernando and Hondo nods as they leave the bar and step out onto the parking lot.

Once outside, Hondo holds up the slip of paper, "19.5? What up wit' that?"

"VFO open on your rig?" Fernando asks.

"Of course." Hondo answer, then it hits him, "I see..."

"Yup, channel 19 on sideband and slide it to the right - gives you channel 19.5 Only a few radios can do that." Fernando explains.

"I got that already." Hondo begins, "What about the Men in Black?"

"Shoot to kill if they make themselves out as a threat. Other than that, leave them alone. I do not think they are the real Men in Black, real Men in Black do not collect taxes. This might be a local group stirring up a scare to get money from the locals." Fernando says.

"But everythin' else? The car, the black suits and hats, the magic cattle prod, no firearms. Looks to me somebody knows their modi operendi all too well, Jefe." Hondo points out.

"Two things are missing, he did not mentioned sun glasses and he was not paranoid scared about them. Remember when we ran up against them, the fear they try to put in us?" Fernando points out and asks.

"Yeah, they got that sterile bleach smell on them and cold air around them." Hondo points out.

"Yet our friend was not paranoid of them, more like concerned." Fernando adds.

"You know, you're right." Hondo says.

"Lets see what the girls are up too. I'm getting hungry. But, lets not tell them what we found out. Not just yet." Fernando says.

Hondo: Isn't that the question that has plagued man kind for years? Is it to glorify God or to die with the most toys. While we are at it can you answer the question about how free will can coexist with divine preordination?

Valentine stepped around the corner.

Valentine: I only caught the last of what you said. What was that about?

Hondo: Jeanette's about to tell us the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Valentine: Isn't that 42?

Hondo: that's what I thought.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Jeanette can appreciate the light humor. "Moro and I were talking about why Fernando, Elsa and I are in the year 2066 and why Gabrielle will be joining us.

"Wait until you here why the Texas Spirits established the city state of Charlton before the arrival of Columbus, occupied it and defended it for hundreds of years, why the city state of Charlton forged an alliance with Arendelle, why the Texas Spirits defended Arendelle for hundreds of years, why Arendelle is one of the nations that exists to this day and why Elsa is on this mission. This will blow your mind. All that was done to persuade me to accept the Texas Spirits' offer of immortality."

"Who cares about the Spirits or of their city of Charlton. And who are they to offer you immortality - only one can give you that and they are not associated with the creator. Do you really want to live forever, watch your friend and family grow old and die for the rest of eternity? Do you want to be on this third rock from the sun when it implodes its outer shell and burns into a crispy cinder? Because that is what life and flesh immortality has to offer, Jeanette. Don't #$@!ing kid your self into thinking they are giving you a grand gift of living forever as a reward for doing a job." Fernando tells her, "I'm not here to go to a city of crows. I'm here for this journey and make sure you and the others who join us along the way get there relatively intact and safe, neither is going to happen if you are following from some wolf-bitch's plans. So don't kid yourself, Jeanette. Just don't. Macey, stay with Val and Hondo and eat what they have to offer."

Fernando then gets up and walks to the electric camper, where he gets inside to sit in the driver's seat and turns on the radios, scanning and listening to various frequencies he searches through.

"Let's see," Jeanette begins, talking to nobody, "my friend Hikaru is an Immortal, my great nephew Theodore is an Immortal. I'm currently in Charlton and according to the testimonies of Chihiro and Elsa, I have not aged a day in fifty-six years." Jeanette turns to Moro. "Go ahead and fill me in on the rest."

"Not until Fernando and Hondo are here." Moro responds.

Jeanette turns to Hondo. "I mean no offence to you and I hope you don't take it that way." Jeanette faces Moro again. "Hondo was not apart of the original party and you did not bring him and Valentine here. Why do you need to wait until both Fernando and Hondo are here?

"Fernando talks about being one with God and then lectures me about only One can grant immortality? He's an Immortal. He has pills at home that grant immortality. Moreover, I did not get the impression that Fernando heard everything I said. You're not using immortality as a reward for doing a job. If Fernando will not listen to that one piece of information, he will not listen to you."

"Elsa is a political pawn. It would be better if Elsa can be reunited with her sister and become queen of Arendelle while fulfilling her role as a political pawn."

"You need Fernando and Hondo to find a solution to that problem?" Jeanette asks.

"It's more complex than that." Moro says. "To use an over-simplified answer, yes."

"Fernando does not seem very eager to help you." Jeanette struggles to make sense of this. "Elsa is a political pawn and I decided to accept your offer of immortality because of Elsa. This does not make any sense."

"You care enough for Elsa, an Immortal, that you accepted our offer of immortality. The question is, does she return to her sister and become queen of Arendelle or does she remain here?"

Hondo: Val an' I are immortal thanks to Jefe but I ain't even gonna touch any of that. An' trust me, bein' inmortal aint all its hyped to be. Beside it's supper time. Val, the sausages cookin' yet?

Valentine: just put them on. Should be done in 15 minutes or so.

Hondo: sounds good. Now if in you two gals will just drop this for now we can get supper all laid out. Then when Jefe. Feels like talkin' 'bout this let me know; I'll be there with bells on. Until then I don't want to hear nary a word ' bout it. I ain't gonna be the one to get between y'all An' this here mess. Damn, I need a drink.

Hondo walked into the camper to get a beer and condaments for the sausages as Valentine ran the grill.

"We have sodas in the gas Camper," Jeanette announces, "Hikaru bought two cases yesterday."

Jeanette walks into Hondo and Valentine's camper to see if there's anything else needing to be done. She was helping Hikaru with the potato salad but got too distracted with the conversations.

Elsa is in the kitchen helping while wearing those gloves that prevents her from turning everyone into ice sculptures.

Jeanette observes young snow queen for a moment, not sure what to say to her. At some point Jeanette will care enough for Elsa that she would accept the Spirits' offer of immortality.

After several minutes of listening to nothing more than Morse Code gibberish and radio static, Fernando returns. Hondo slowly approaches Fernando before he could get to the table.

"Jefe, we'll talk later but that wolf-dame seems to kno' too much if you get my meanin'." Hondo says as he cleans out his pipe.

"I'm not worried about Moro, she should be worried about me because when all is said and done will be just a waste of time for her kind. Let go and eat." Fernando says.

Before too long the food was cooked, and set out, the beverages we're brought over and folks began to eat. Valentine made sure to help Macey get her food. About then Hondo and Fernando joined the group. Valentine walked up to Hondo.

Valentine: Everythin' alright, love?

Hondo: yeah, .it's alright.

Valentine: what's happenin'? I know that look An' tone. Its not all right.

Hondo: is it all truly ever right? . . . Sigh. . . Don't worry. We'll talk tonight. Not the place here.

Valentine: OK. Better get somethin' to eat.

Hondo: I will in a moment. Gonna grab a beer first. Make sure jefe gets some. He needs it more than I do.

Hondo went into the camper to get a beer. Valentine went up to Fernando.

Valentine: Fernando, please help yourself. You look like you need some food and sleep.
